You know, I had never considered the fact that people’s beliefs on cryptids and mythical creatures could be something else other than they cannot see them so they must not be real. I never necessarily thought that religion could also influence others’ views, I often think angels are in this group as well. When I was a little girl, I had a few friends that believed, but almost everyone else I met did not believe in them. But I was OBSESSED with them, as was my mother. I wanted to go out and find Bigfoot in the woods or go to Ireland to search the Loch Ness for Nessie. My mother loved Aliens, especially little green ones because green is her favorite color, and with Neopets being a thing they had alien pets that I still adore to this day, and I plan to even get a tattoo of an alien Aisha. And as I kept looking back into my childhood and teen years my love for those creatures was always there, I never stopped believing in them. And if I have learned anything from my path, synchronicities are apparent for cryptids, and that amuses me. On my current path with self-awareness and spiritual awakening leading me to channeling work and working with the frequencies of the universe, me spending a good majority of my time listening to Bashar and him being an “extraterrestrial” I know it was meant to be and seeing that just makes my soul laugh and feel warm and fuzzy. Us on our path we’ve always worked with dragons or fairies, and even angels and other such “beings” I found it a complete shock when we as a coven discovered a new science article that they have discovered a preserved unicorn body in Pompeii, we’re actually like “OMG they are real”, to least that’s what Topaz said that sent me into writing this.  Topaz was shaking her phone in excitement and continuing going on about it, my reaction was a really happy “Oh Sweet, that’s great” and Topaz was like “No! You do not understand, I mean like they are REAL!” All I did was look over at her and gave a very over dramatic “DUUUUUUH!” And then I had to explain that as far as memory allows that I have always been a true believer. That is when my mind broke because I was confronted with the knowledge that Topaz, as much as we work and are (inspired?) by mythology that she was not acting in the belief that their energy and presence, regardless of them being on another spiritual plain or on a parallel universe, were actually real. Isn’t part of “religions” believing some form of invisible force/being? If Christians can believe in an invisible sky daddy and his angels wholeheartedly as, is it was genuinely here with us, how are we not wholeheartedly believing the gods and goddesses and any other “mythical” source that we can work with? Now it makes me wonder if I have to ask everyone I am connected with if and how they go about believing in such entities that are unseen. It never crossed my mind that you can believe that the thing you “work with, or energetically call to” cannot be real. Does Safire think Dragons are REAL or just the essence of them is what is real. Is it like that one supernatural episode where if enough people believe in (insert whatever fits your fancy for this thought process) it would then become a real entity that can interact with our reality? It is one of those things that if they ever did get discovered physically on the Earth I would be like “Fucking finally!” You cannot tell me that mermaids do not exist when we only have explored ~10% of our oceans. What is the fun of living if you cannot believe in the mystery and magic in all things? At least, that is what I think anyway.  

What about y’all? Do you believe in cryptids?
